Topic: Devil May Cry Reboot

[shelverton.]

Well, Dante looks nothing like I remember him. So much for a proper Devil May Cry 5, I guess...

TGS 10: Debut Trailer HD - Devil May Cry

[Kale]

He looks retarded.... but hey, atleast he's not half naked and acting like a cocky lil biatch!

Still, it seems like a movie remake of a game... where instead of demons it's experiments... (hint hint Doom)

[shelverton.]

I don't know much about the storyline in DMC, but it seems a bit desperate to reboot a series that only has 4 games. What's next, a Bayonetta reboot in 2011?

i have to say i don't like this change as a DMC fan.
to drastically change such a established character such as Dante in the manner is just IMO so stupid.
DMC didn't NEED a freaken Reboot and Dante's character definitely didn't need one in this manner.
he looks like a recovering drug addict for christ sake!
we'll some sites are calling this a prequel to the DMC series while some are calling it a complete reboot of the storyline.
what do you guys think?

[shelverton.]

Maybe it's supposed to be a prequel to the other games, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a complete reboot. This is after all the year of the reboot. It seems like developers are all about "FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW!". Castlevania, Zelda (to some extent), Mega Man, Final Fantasy, Metroid and now Devil May Cry. All of them are not necessarily reboots, but they're changing.

Also, may I express my dislike towards the character designers at Ninja Theory? Heavenly Sword wasn't too bad in terms of the heroine design, but that new game Enslaved? I absolutely HATE the main character. Not only is he called "Monkey", but he's also the ugliest thing I have seen in many years. Therefor I am not surprised they've done this to Dante. Brown hair, no trenchcoat.... Hopefully the game will be fun, but the visual style is a real turn-off for me..

You say that like it's a bad thing. Or at least worse than a cool urban and rebellious skinny lil biatch. They are both horrible.
though dmc1 dante is pretty much the superior version of dante anytime.

we'll the action in the trailer look fantastic IMO.
more only real problem with that is the slower double guns as opposed to the fast shooting we DMC fans are so used to.
but to change such a Cool Character such as Dante from this


to
this


its just a stupid move on Capcom's part IMO.
i think Capcom would have pleased more fans if they actually kept the core Dante character instead of completely rebooting him.
at this point most of the feedback has been negative towards this new Dante so hopfully Capcom will listen to the fans for a change and tell Ninja theory to reconsider the look

That, or just name this character something else. I welcome new characters in already established franchises - heck, I even liked Nero (though he was arguably very Dante-ish anyway).

Maybe you get to see this drugaddict Dante slowly change throughout the game and 'become' the Dante from part 1 near the end?
This guy looks a lot younger... maybe Dante had some issues when he was a punkass kid.

[shelverton.]

Yeah, that is possible.
I do however get the feeling that this game takes place in a different world/universe altogether. I don't get the typical DMC world feeling at all. Dunno why.. Too early to tell though.

we'll he doesn't look to be to much younger then DMC3 Dante 
unless this takes place directly behind DMC3 i could see your theory maybe working

WTF

This reimagined Dante looks lame as hell. I would't have minded another game featuring Nero (he is Vergil's son, after all) & real Dante. This could either be REALLY good, or take DMC2's place.

someone on another forum mentioned something that is truly something to think about if your Capcom and Ninja Theory.
there is a very valid reason why DMC2 was disliked by ALOT of DMC fans.
Dante's character may have looked ok but his attitude was so completely diffrent then the Dante we all knew and loved.
now it seems this time they are once again changeing the beloved character :
all i gotta say is if Dante doesn't crack some funny 1 liners in this game i'm going to be pissed lol

It was a bad thing... DMC1 Dante was the best. Possibly DMC2's as well, but the game for it sucked so hard, it's hard for me to talk about it without thinking about the game play.

[thernz]

it actually is a lame design, i phrased that wrong. i mean it was okay for the game's context. i'll have to know more about new dante and his game to make a better opinion of his design. but outside of context, i think they're both horrible.
for the game itself, im a bit worried because it's ninja theory and i heard that heavenly sword's combat was pretty shallow. but there's not really much to comment on anyway so.
